The Arizona women’s basketball team started its season this week, defeating Western New Mexico in an exhibition Tuesday before opening the regular season with 74-59 win over Alcorn State on Sunday afternoon.
Head coach Adia Barnes, a UA alumna and the program’s all-time leading scorer who was hired in April, made her highly-anticipated debut.
“As a coach, you can only control so much, so there was adrenaline, excitement, it’s new, it’s fun and you get to see your work put into place,” Barnes said after Tuesday’s game.
